anyone else getting MS points out of nowhere?

[Jimi_Shuffler]

I saw some articles about "mystery MS points" being given onto various Live accounts, I heard it was whatever you earned in the XBL rewards program x6 or x7? I had 80 MS points 2 days ago or yesterday. Checked to see my MS points like 20 mins ago and I now have 780 MS points, and my pending XBL rewards points was 100 Did anyone else notice this?

Yeah it happened to me too. I spent them real quick so they wouldn't be able to take them back. billing.microsoft.com > sign in with ID tied to your XBL account > click "points" in the top left and you can see how many times they were added.

whoa okay yeah its 7x 100, thanks for the tip.

I just noticed the XBL support on twitter said that people can keep the points so you don't have to compulsively spend them like I did.
